Our work is based in a strategic perspective, a strong orientation toward social justice, and a deep understanding of organizational dynamics and people. We have an extensive record of empowering leaders and teams to develop processes that facilitate understanding and change. Our value:

Collaborations: We work in close partnership with our clients, providing the legwork, guidance and support that helps them reach decisions about what is best for their organization and its future.

Insight and candor: We are sought after for our in-depth assessments, forthright approach, and expert facilitation to address a range of organizational challenges and opportunities.

Networks: We have deep roots and strong networks, including long-term, trusting relationships with our clients and other professionals in many fields.

Knowledge capital: We bring an informed outsider’s perspective, the result of long experience with organizations with diverse structures and interests – large and small, established and just starting out. This perspective is complemented by direct professional not-for-profit experience, and substantive knowledge of the health care, social services, academic, philanthropy and government sectors.

We love what we do, and feel privileged to work with dedicated individuals and organizations who are making a real difference in the lives of people and communities.

"Two years ago our Board of Directors had to find a new CEO to fill the vacancy left by our well-loved and highly respected founding President. Catlin and her team spent valuable time researching our organization as well as interviewing staff, Directors, and key people around the state. Their process to help us find our new president was sensitive, thorough and respectful. The outcome has been better than even I had hoped!”
